Guthrie, Oklahoma... A Step Back in Time

A town well worth visiting... Guthrie, Oklahoma! These townspeople obviously take pride in their western heritage, as the beautiful restored storefronts will testify.

I had heard good things about this small town in Oklahoma since I moved to Kansas in 2008, and I finally had the opportunity to visit Guthrie with my friend Holly last week. (Thanks to Janie at Midlife Slices for mentioning Guthrie to me last year~) Since Guthrie is only an hour and a half south of us, I do believe we'll be going back for another visit soon.

Looks a wonderful place to visit, sorry I'm so far away. I love the fact they are retaining their heritage - not enough of that happening on this side of the world, beautiful old architecture replaced by concrete and glass ugliness.

Love it when those towns retain the "old" look. I'll have to check out your photos. The small city near where I live had tried to do that. There are so many old buildings that could be restored, but there had already been modern storefronts built. It will never look complete, kind of a mish-mash. Good intentions there though.

Love what you did with the photo, Suz! Next time we need to get one of those vintage photos done . . . complete with six-shooters, bustles, and parasols (and, maybe, a cowboy or two . . . or, at least, a cowhorse). If they don't have a vintage photography shop in Guthrie, it would be a great business venture, eh?
